Research isn’t linear; scientists don’t work for years on one problem, find the solution and publish it. Instead, research is incremental, and scientists often work on many different things at once, all at different stages and all producing a variety of data and other outputs along the way.

Traditional peer-reviewed journals don’t address this: while they are an appropriate way to share findings with the scientific community, they don’t publish the results produced at different stages of the research cycle – the information that’s often hidden in dark cabinets and dusty lab books.

Elsevier created a series of Research Elements articles to help unlock these “hidden treasures.” These short articles are designed for researchers to publish – and get credit for – their datasets, software, experimental designs and method adjustments, and they are proving very popular.

SoftwareX provides a dedicated publishing home for all software which fundamentally impacts the research process, but traditionally would not be acknowledged or reported on systematically. Publishing your software will also allow for the wider scientific community to find, evaluate, credit, reuse or build on your valuable software development!
